with ladders to the roof dragged the ladder
up after them, let it down through the hole
in the roof, and thus gained access into their
abodes. Everything around. these places was
of the most primitive style, and argued en-

many names but it is essen
TALLY the same complaint.
Hospitals and private institu-
tons for nervous patients are
crowded. The average of life
in the United States is de-
creasing every year. Sudden
deaths from nervous collanse
among our business, profess
ional and public men are SO
frequent as scarcely to excite
remark. The majority of sui
cides, committed without APP
parent reason, or underso-called
depression of spirits" are
really prompted by nervous
prostration, which is a fruitful
source of insanity and crime
with all their grief and horror.
These facts are startling.
They threaten the very life of
the nation. They assail the
springs of its power and pros
perity. They wreck manhood's
strength and woman's useful
ness and beauty.
Every one should know the
causes. What are theyl The
answer is easy and terribly
plain: Our vicious personal
habits; our careless and lawless
eating and drinking; the III
tense mental and physical strain
arising from our mad race after
money, position and influence;
the fears and struggles of pow
erty; the use of narcotics and
stimulants; our fashion OF
turning day into night and
night into day; and, briefly,
our desperate willingness to
pay any price for an hours
pleasure or success. So we
burn life's candle at both ends
and Fill the lunatic asylums
and the graveyards.
The disease from which we
suffer and die is, in plain Eng
lish, Nervous Dyspepsia, as it
is seated in the Nerves and in
the organs of Digestion, Assim-
ilation and Nutrition. Healthy
digestion being impeded or des-
troyed, the whole body, nerves
included, is literally starred;
even when there is no enact
alton to tell the sad story.
Nervous prostration sends
out its warnings
in the morning; persistent
dull heaviness or aching at the
base of the brain; wakefulness;
loss of appetite and disgustwit
food; loss of mental energy and
interest in ordinary duties and
business; restlessness ard anx-
iety without any assignable
reason; quotations; bad
breath; foul mucous on the
teeth; occasional giddiness;
palpitation of the heart; sal
lowness of the skin; coated
tongue and gradual failure of
strength and ambition.
The remedy is a total aban-
donment of the habits and GUS
toms which cause the disease
in each individual case, and the
use of Shaker Ertract Of Roots
(Seigel's Syrup to cure the
mischief already done. This
great remedy, prepared by the
Shaker Community of Mt. Leb-
anon, N. Y, is especially adapt
ed to eradicate Nervous Dys-
pepsia. To do this it acts
directly and gently but power
fully upon the disordered stom-
ach, liver and kidneys, restor-
ing their tone and vigor, pro-
noting the secretion OF bile, ex-
polling waste matters from the
system, and purifying the blood.

ROZelle,s Case.

Judge Gardeners court was occupied
most of yesterday in trying Rozelle,
the husband of Mrs. Grettie Rozelle,
who threw the vitriol in Petrie's face.
Several witnesses were examined
but the testimony does not differ ma
terially from the details SO often
printed during the previous trial, on
examination of the principal in the
case. Counsel for the defense insisted
upon the jury being allowed to visit
the premises where the crime was
committed. The purpose of this was
to let them see the stains of the vitriol
on the furniture and walls of the
room. The theory of the defense is
that the woman did the deed while
resisting an indecent assault made on
her by Petrie, and that the widely
scattered effects of the acid will show
that the fluid was not poured stealth
lily on the victim, as he claims it was.
Certainly Rozelle looks like man
quite enough lacking in manhood to
let his wife resent an insult while he
consulted his own personal safety in
absence from the scene. The case
goes on to-day.

more for decision than upon the testi-
mony. 1t appeared that plaintiff OBJ
tanned certificate to these lands from
the State, they being set aside and
known as school lands. Under the
provisions for disposing of these lands
u certain amount of principal and in
terest must be paid each year, and
when all is paid a patent is issued.
The plaintiff failed to make these pay
ments and patents were issued to the
defendants. The question involved is
as to whether the certificate is still
good or whether the patent makes
the certificate void. The case has
been submitted on briefs to be filed
hereafter.
